The Assam government is reviewing whether the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) could be withdrawn from some areas before making recommendations to the Centre. This move may have repercussions in J&K and Manipur where the Act has been a major subject of dispute between the state governments and the Centre. Declaring the entire Assam as a "disturbed area", the Centre had imposed the Act on November 27, 1990, at the height of militancy spearheaded by Ulfa.
